please help me

Answer 1

The answer is D if I am wrong sorry but I know

Answer 2

D if car's length is 180 and not 108

Explanation:

Truck is 75% longer than the car implies that the length of the truck is 175% (100+75 = 175) of the length of the car.

175/100 × 108

= 189 inches

None of the above

If we take the car's length to be 180 inches, then

175/100 × 180 = 315 inches
